Background: In the past, several publications have described breast reconstruction techniques that utilize the contralateral breast; however, interest diminished because of technical difficulty, scarring, and poor aesthetic results.
Objectives: This study aimed to present a new breast reconstruction technique that uses a combination of the breast-pectoralis flap and the abdominal advancement flap.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the results and complications of 20 consecutive breast reconstructions with the breast-pectoralis flap technique.
Results: The authors present a series of 20 breast reconstructions that utilized the breast-pectoralis flap. Delayed breast reconstruction was performed in 13 cases (65%), breast reconstruction in 5 patients (25%) with Poland syndrome, sequela correction after a chest wall sarcoma in 1 patient (5%), and sequela correction after breast cystic lymphangioma resection in 1 patient (5%). One complication required surgical reintervention without long-term consequences. The outcomes were considered very good in 50% of the cases, good in 45%, and fair in 5%.
Conclusions: The combination of the breast-pectoralis flap and the abdominal advancement flap is an interesting advance in breast reconstruction. Evaluation of the presented cases suggests wider indications for this technique.

Breast and thoracic deformities of Poland syndrome is a rare malformation known to be difficult to treat. Numerous descriptions of surgical corrections have been published but none achieved to correct severe cases before description of lipomodeling technique. The aim of this article is to present thoraco-mammary deformity of Poland syndrome, corrections techniques already available and therapeutical indications in primary and secondary cases.

Background: Poland syndrome is a congenital deformity presenting unilateral hypoplasia of the breast, pectoralis muscle, and ipsilateral skeletal anomalies. In complex female cases, the significant amount of soft tissue needed for reconstruction continues to be a surgical challenge. Perforator flaps offer alternative methods with sufficient tissue volume, minimal donor site morbidity, and natural cosmetic outcome; however, their role in Poland syndrome breast reconstruction is seldom discussed.
